I've seen enough science on both sides of the argument to have come to my opinion on this, and as I've always said, a motoring forum is about as bad a place as any to discuss this issue. Way, way to many people with vested interests in keeping their cars

See there is a contradiction right there - if you have truly seen the science on both sides, than you could not possibly make the statement that 'Climate change is occuring, it's occuring faster than it has done at any point in recorded history, and that is completely undeniable'.

Saying that you understand the science does not make it so, there just is not enough data to back your statement up. BTW I am agnostic on AGW and have no vested interest in denying it.

Back on topic - The Great.... Swindle is a populist piece of twaddle which is about as close to presenting the science of climate change as that other piece of propaganda An Inconvenient Truth. Both are shallow and full of inaccuracies, and politically motivated, and do not help to further the debate, or to present it to the non-expert audience.
